John 20 — Chapter 20

John · Restored Names Edition

1The first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

2Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Yahusha (Jesus) loved, and says unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

3Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

4So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

6Then comes Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and sees the linen clothes lie,

7And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

11But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12And sees two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Yahusha (Jesus) had lain.

13And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest you? She says unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Yahusha (Jesus) standing, and knew not that it was Yahusha (Jesus).

15Yahusha (Jesus) says unto her, Woman, why weepest you? whom seek you? She, supposing him to be the gardener, says unto him, Sir, if you have borne him hence, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.

16Yahusha (Jesus) says unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and says unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17Yahusha (Jesus) says unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my Elohim (God), and your Elohim (God).

18Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

19Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Yahudim (Jews), came Yahusha (Jesus) and stood in the midst, and says unto them, Peace be unto you.

20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21Then said Yahusha (Jesus) to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.

22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and says unto them, Receive you the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit):

23Whose soever sins you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins you retain, they are retained.

24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Yahusha (Jesus) came.

25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Yahusha (Jesus), the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27Then says he to Thomas, Reach hither your finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my Elohim (God).

29Yahusha (Jesus) says unto him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30And many other signs truly did Yahusha (Jesus) in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

31But these are written, that you might believe that Yahusha (Jesus) is the Messiah (Christ), the Son of Elohim (God); and that believing you might have life through his name.
